Infrared Upconversion for Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yesOptical Engineering, 1977
The basic theory of upconversion is presented, along with a brief historical summary of upconversion techniques. Upconverters were used in astronomical studies, but have met with only modest success. Upconversion will become a useful detection method for astronomy only if substantial but perhaps forseeable, improvements can be realized.

Infrared Astronomy After IRAS

Science, 1986
The 250,000 sources in the recently issued Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) all-sky infrared catalog are a challenge to astronomy. Many of these sources will be studied with existing and planned ground-based and airborne telescopes, but many others can no longer even be detected now that IRAS has ceased to operate.

Instrumentation for Infrared Astronomy

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1978
Over the last 10 years infrared astronomy from 2 µm to 1000 µm has blossomed into a major field of observational astrophysics. This development would have been impossible without two major technical advances. First, extremely sensitive detectors have been developed and become available for astronomical applications.

Stellar infrared astronomy with EDISON

Space Science Reviews, 1992
In this review the IR emission from circumstellar material is discussed, both of ionized gas and dust grains, and the astrophysical information that can be extracted from such observations. Some emphasis is placed on the possibilities of stellar IR astronomy using a large space-borne telescope, especially with respect to the much better spatial and ...

The future of space infrared astronomy

Space Science Reviews, 1992
I have been asked to make some opening remarks about the future of space infrared astronomy, with special reference to the very exciting new ideas which are the subject of this workshop. I take literally the intention of the organisers that this is a “workshop” and so everything which the participants and I say are really ideas, concepts and work in ...

Infrared and Microwave Astronomy

Nature, 1969
Recent observations of infrared and microwave emission from various astronomical objects, together with their theoretical implications, were discussed at a conference held in Cambridge from July 8 to 11, 1969. This rapidly developing field of astronomy promises to contribute significantly to our understanding of the formation and evolution of not only ...

Galactic Infrared Astronomy

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1971
Until the last six years few infrared observations of astronomical objects (other than the Sun and planets) had been attempted. Those few were primarily concerned with obtaining bolometric corrections and effective temperatures, the variation of bolometric magnitudes of late-type variables, and the derivation of the laws of interstellar extinction.

Airborne Infrared Astronomy

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1977
Infrared astronomical observations using ground-based equipment are confined to the few ‘windows’ or observation ports allowed by our absorbing atmosphere, the chief absorbing molecules being water vapour and CO2. The majority of such observations have been made using broadband filters defining the photometric J, H, K, L, M, N and O bands.
